Book excerpt: More than four million people a year visit Valley Forge, one of America's most celebrated historic sites. Here, amid the rolling hills of southeastern Pennsylvania, visitors can pass through the house which served as Washington's Headquarters during the famous winter encampment of 1777-1778. Others picnic and jog in the huge park, complete with monuments, recreated log huts, and modern visitor center, all built to pay tribute to the Valley Forge story. In this lively book, Lorett Treese shows how Valley Forge evolved into the tourist mecca that it is today. In the process, she uses Valley Forge as a means for understanding how Americans view their own past. Treese explores the origins of popular images associated with Valley Forge, such as George Washington kneeling in the snow to seek divine assistance. She places Valley Forge in the context of the historic preservation movement as the site became Pennsylvania's first state park in 1893. She studies its "Era of Monuments" and the movement to "restore" Valley Forge in the spirit of Rockefeller's enormously popular colonial Williamsburg. Treese describes a Valley Forge fraught with controversy over the appropriate appearance and use of a place so revered. One such controversy, the "hot dog war," a brief but intense battle over concession stands, was spawned by Americans' changing perceptions of how a national park was to be used. The volatile Vietnam era prompted the state park commission to establish its "Subcommittee on Sex, Hippies, and Whiskey Swillers" to investigate park regulation infractions. Even today, people differ over exactly what happened at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778. The modern visitor sees the remains of over a century of commemoration, competition, and contention. The result, Treese shows, is a historic site that may reveal more about succeeding history than about Washington's army. This book will give its readers a new way to look at Valley Forge--and all historic sites.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valley Forge Historical Research Report The Valley Forge Historical Research Project and Report is the product of many minds. It was conceived in 1976 by the late Charles Funnell, historian for the mid-atlantic Region of the National Park Service, together with John Bond, Regional Historian, and Dr. S. Sydney Bradford, Associate Director for Planning and Resource Preservation. The burden of sustaining the project through to completion during the ensuing three years was assumed with grace and forbearance by H. Gilbert Lusk, Superintendent of Valley Forge National Historical Park, and Valley Forge Chief of Interpretation W. Eugene Cox. The project was launched in August of 1977, employing five research historians to gather photocopies of period documents from over two hundred archives in the United States, England, and France. The success of the project was in large part attributable to the thoroughness of their investigations. The three historians engaged in the project for this collection phase, and whose efforts were so essential to the project, were Michael Lawson, David Rich, and Harry Roach.
